Chapter 997: The same since ancient times

"Zuo Xiang came to Xiaohou Shangsha, Kang Qi missed the welcome, don't blame it!" Xiyuehou rushed in almost at a trot, and after seeing Chen Xu, he hurriedly apologized.

"Ben Hou is just hanging out so far, Xiyue Hou don't use so many courtesies!" Chen Xu held Xiyuehou with both hands, and then remembered that this Xiyue leather goods should be the commercial property of Xiyuehou.

As soon as he heard Xiyuehou, several merchants from the northeast almost guessed the identity of Kang Qi at the same time, although they were disdainful in their hearts, they still bowed together, and after a while of greetings, everyone's eyes fell on the most conspicuous leopard skin in the store again.

"Zuo Xiang's visit has brought glory to Kang Qi's face, and this snow leopard skin will be sent to Zuo Xiang's mansion later......" Kang Qi thought that Chen Xu had taken a fancy to this snow leopard skin, so he hurriedly said carefully.

"Don't use it, although this snow leopard skin is precious, Ben Hou doesn't like fur clothing, it's not as comfortable as silk and linen!" Chen Xu smiled and waved his hand.

"What Master Hou said is that my Central Plains Huatian Treasure is abundant, and wearing leather clothes is a barbarian!" A Liaodong businessman echoed disdainfully.

Chen Xu couldn't help crying and laughing, and said in his heart that you Liaodong are also barbarians, if it weren't for the expansion of Yan Kingdom to the north, maybe you would still be eating bare-ass in the barren mountains and mountains.

Kang Qi was a little bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, now he is an idle marquis who destroys the country, he has no power and no power to be kept in captivity in Xianyang, the purpose of opening this shop is to communicate with the clansmen and caravans from the Yue clan, but also to subsidize the family, now there is a marquis, and there are hundreds of servants in the house, but only relying on ten acres of rewarded grain fields and a thousand stones a year Hou Lu can not support at all, I wanted to do a small business in a low-key manner, but I didn't expect to be targeted by Chen Xu on the first day of opening, so I was a little frightened, for fear of angering this super boss of the double marquis, Shangqing, Zuo Xiang, and young master.

However, listening to Chen Xu's tone, Kang Qi was also slightly relieved in his heart, the most precious thing in his store at the moment is this snow leopard skin, which is still his previous private collection, and now the family is almost unable to open the pot, and he is ready to sell it to subsidize the family.

"What do you think Xiyuehou's snow leopard skin is worth?" Chen Xu touched this soft and thick leopard skin with his hand, and felt that the quality was not as good as the ones at home.

"This snow leopard is a specialty of the Western Regions, the habit is fierce, good to hunt beasts, living in the alpine snow mountains, a little heard of it before, but it is the first time to see, this skin is made well, the leather is soft, the fur is thick, and it is very complete, it is a high-grade leather goods, but compared to my Liaodong specialty of the colorful tigers, it is just Erer, this time to Xianyang, we brought three complete tiger skins of five zhang size, each of which is worth tens of thousands of gold...... "A Liao businessman said triumphantly.

"The tiger of Liaodong is more than a foot long, it is the world's first-class beast, and Xiaohou's snow leopard skin naturally can't be mentioned first!" Kang Qi knew that his identity was despised by the Central Plains, so he didn't dare to hold it up, and he still behaved very low-key in front of several businessmen, calling himself Xiaohou so as not to be despised.

"Alas~ It's a pity!" The other Liao merchant shook his head and sighed.

"What a pity? A few people came from afar, coinciding with the opening of today's commercial plaza, if there are difficulties, maybe they can help one or two! Chen Xu spoke.

Several businessmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and one of them hurriedly said: "Master Hou doesn't know, this time I was entrusted by the King of Liao to bring more than ten cars of Liaodong specialties, including tiger martten bear skin, as well as ginseng, deer antler and bear bile and many other precious medicinal materials, but unfortunately there is no way to sell, ask many leather merchants and pharmacists, either the price is not suitable, or they are scattered to ask for some, and the King of Liao asked me to buy back the urgently needed things as soon as possible, so I am at a loss!" ”

"Haha, it turns out that it's because of this, it's a trivial matter!" Chen Xu smiled and shook his head.

"If the Hou Ye can help, we will be grateful, and when I return to Liaodong, I will definitely report to the King of Liao in person, and the King of Liao will definitely be grateful to the Hou Ye!" A group of Liao merchants were overjoyed and saluted together.

"Ben Hou and the King of Liao are also very familiar, they used to play mahjong together in the palace, the matter of the King of Liao Ben Hou will naturally not sit idly by, tigers and minks and bears are all valuable leather goods, ordinary people can't afford to consume, but Xianyang is where the Great Qin Jingshi is located, a few cars will not be a problem, and the merchants have different business rules, and now you have a very good partner in front of you, you don't care about anyone in your eyes?" Chen Xu pointed to Xiyuehou and said.

"Hou Ye is ......" Several Liao merchants and Xiyue Hou all looked at Chen Xu with puzzled expressions.

"You came from afar to be anxious to ship, but there is no way, and Xiyue Hou is the emperor's own marquis, and now he runs a special leather trading house, you sell the leather goods to Xiyue Hou at the lowest discount price, Xiyue Hou has a high-quality source, and you can also get the payment at one time, isn't it a matter of two benefits!"

"Ahh Several Liao merchants looked at each other and nodded after a slight hesitation, "What Hou Ye said is that if Xiyue Hou is willing to buy our leather goods in full, the price will naturally be very cheap, and we will only earn some freight and a little difference in the price of the journey!" ”

Xiyuehou twitched a few times and looked at Chen Xu with a wry smile: "Zuo Xiang's arrangement is indeed helping Xiaohou expand his business, but Xiaohou's family is not rich now, I'm afraid he can't afford to buy ......."

"It doesn't hurt to can't afford it, but the so-called business opportunities are hard to find, Liaodong is the best source of leather goods in Daqin, and these few have to be reused by the King of Liao, he will inevitably have a steady stream of leather goods in your hands, as long as you want, the capital problem Benhou can help open the mouth to go to Huaxia Qian Zhuang to borrow a low-interest loan to complete the transaction, it is now the cold winter season, and it is also the best time for leather goods to sell well, and good goods are not worried about selling ...... at all."

"Zuo Xiang is willing to help, Xiaohou is naturally grateful, and he is also willing to buy this batch of leather goods!" Xiyuehou didn't hesitate at all and agreed.

As a surrendered marquis, although his current identity is precious, he is not as good as an ordinary official among the princes and princes of Xianyang, and even civilians look down on him on weekdays, but today because of this chance to catch up with the Marquis of Qinghe, his status will inevitably rise in the future.

Moreover, as the original Yue clan royal family, he also deeply knew the importance of timing and the balance of status and power, otherwise he would not have intended to promote a friendly relationship between the Yue clan and Great Qin, because he knew that the Yue clan was not the opponent of Great Qin at all, and the subsequent changes quickly confirmed his judgment, and the 20,000 Great Qin soldiers stirred up the tens of thousands of Yue Clan's army in an instant.

Although the process is very shameful, Daqin used the internal contradictions of the Yue Clan to successfully sneak attack, but losing is losing, in the face of strength, big fists are the last word, Daqin does not need to use heavy punches to deal with the Yue Clan, and in just over a year, now Daqin has leveled Wusun and dozens of countries in the Western Regions, this is Daqin's military strength, and the soldiers are invincible.

At present, there is no Yue Clan, only Liang Kingdom, and Liang Country is not only the Yue Clan tribe, but also the Qiang and Wusun people, and the three hostile tribes are all ruled under the command of King Liang, and they can only obey and obey, and fish together in a pot.

The winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, and the same has been true since ancient times.

Under Chen Xu's matchmaking, Xiyuehou and several businessmen quickly reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, and Chen Xu took one of the merchants to another shop specializing in selling medicinal materials.

After everything was arranged, in the gratitude of several Liao merchants, Chen Xu continued to wander around the shopping mall with a group of gentlemen, looking around, asking about the sales of each shop, and by the way, he also bought a few special gadgets from the southeast and northwest to take back to Shui Qingrou and Xing'er Yu Ji as gifts.

The lively day passed in a flash, and around the time of Shen, more than 100,000 people gathered on Keju Square slowly dispersed, and the tourists who poured into the mall to shop all left home happily with shopping bags, and all the shops began to take stock of today's sales.

In the tea restaurant on the third floor of Qinghe Shopping Mall, Chen Xu, Liu Bang and a group of heads of Keju Commercial Plaza sat together while drinking tea and discussing some of the things that happened today, as well as adjusting the mall and what needs to be strengthened and improved.

After the discussion, Huang Fu came to report on the sales of Qinghe Shopping Mall today, and after getting the sales of the entire shopping mall, even Chen Xu was surprised, in one day, the sales revenue of the three floors of Qinghe Shopping Mall was as high as 2.7 million, and the snacks and tea restaurants on the third floor alone had an income of nearly 100,000 yuan, which was comparable to the turnover of Qinghe Hotel in Xianyang City for several days.

According to Chen Xu's visit to the mall today, the total turnover of more than 200 shops in the entire Keju shopping mall is at least more than 10 million, and according to the rough estimate of Liu Bang and others, the number of people entering the mall today should exceed 50,000, and the average cost per person is more than 200 yuan.

Although most of this money was earned by Chen Xu and some related merchants such as Jiangxi porcelain, Fan's winery, Shui's tea house, and glass factory bearing factory, the rest of the large and small shops also earned a lot of money, at least tens of thousands of dollars in sales.

Although it doesn't seem much, but you must know that this is just a one-day record, and what Daqin lacks most at the moment is entertainment, once visiting the mall has become a daily consumption and living habit of Xianyang people, it will inevitably attract a lot of popularity, and become the most lively place near Xianyang.

As long as you come to go shopping, you will spend some money more or less, even if you eat a skewer, two steamed buns and a bowl of ice powder, it is also a means to promote consumption upgrading.

In the next two days, Keju Commercial Plaza became more lively, and some people who did not come on the first day heard the hot description of the opening day in the streets and alleys of Quyuan Miscellaneous House, and they all couldn't help but run to Keju Square to take a look.

Even on the fourth day, the emperor couldn't help but take a group of concubines to visit the mall under the protection of the Xuanwu Guard and the forbidden army.

Because in the past few days, all I have heard are the words commercial square, and even the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty are discussing this matter with each other, and when they talk about it, they are almost as excited as Chen Xu when he was a child and followed adults to catch up with the temple fair.

Many officials can't help but take a car out of town to go to the mall for a walk, find a favorite restaurant in the dining area and sit by the window on the third floor, eat a bowl of hot noodles or dumplings, and then you can also go to the tea restaurant in Qinghe shopping mall to drink a cup of hot tea with three or five friends, listen to a piece of music, and instantly have a feeling of sublimation of life, just like the people of later generations visiting Starbucks.
